Hingham Baseball Improves to 2 and 0

Hingham - Junior Rob Madden drilled a 2-out 3-2 pitch off the left centerfield fence in the bottom on the 7th inning to drive home the winning run to give Hingham an 8-7 win over Scituate in the Patriot League opener for both teams. Junior Austin Murphy sparked the two out 7th inning rally with a double to left in his second career varsity at-bat. Junior Sean Greene continues to crush the ball with his second straight 3 hit game including his 2nd home run of the season. Greene was also the winning pitcher as he retired the final two batters in the top of the 7th in a strong relief performance. Madden turned in an excellent effort in the starting role giving up 4 runs on 7 hits in 6 innings with 6 strikeouts for the Harbormen who improve to 2 and 0. Sophomore Eddie Bowler drove in 2 runs while Senior captain Tim Winter had 2 of Hingham's 13 hits.

Details on Trip To Florida

Once again, the baseball team will be travelling to Florida for April vacation. We will leave on April 18th and return on April 24th. We will be staying in an 8 bedroom/6 bath house very similar to the one we stayed in 2 years ago. It is actually in the same resort (Emerald Island). We will be playing at least two games (we are working on finding the third game). Players will once again be given the opportunity to fundraise to reduce or eliminate the cost of the trip.
